Properties: Amber crystals from ether + chloroform, mp 200-215°. [a]D23 -20° (chloroform). Neutral reaction. Sparingly sol in water which inactivates it. More stable at acid pH, but still loses ~50% of its activity when boiled for 10 min at pH 3. Aq solns also are inactivated on exposure to light. Moderately sol in alcohol, ether. Freely sol in chloroform.
Melting point: mp 200-215°
Optical Rotation: [a]D23 -20° (chloroform)
